Okey pokey, must be lamp board.
How much for a flammable one and all those bulbs?

PS Deleted Mike's thread. I couldn't be bothered to split, too much effort for so much pointless speculation.

Will have a look for one, but I would rather you had a good one!

I guess the Government got to you too, then?

OK, new reel driver board fitted and all blown bulbs bar one (mid Flashback logo - it's a bastard as metal mounting for lamping board gets in the complete way)

Lamping issue resolved on reels 1+2, so thanks for that.

Looks much better as well.

Just that pesky autonudge button to fix. Something to do with stabbing myself with something. I'll leave that for another night as it's late now.

Good.

What's up with the autonudge button again?

The microswitch clicks, but the button doesn't work when you press it.

Last problem I had on Epoch with a non working button was where the wire had pulled out of the connector right up where it went into the lamp board.

I checked the connections and no problem, all wiring seemed correct. Blasted thing wouldn't work. Swapped bits with other bits, couldn't isolate the problem. I had given up on it to be honest.
Last night had nudges onto jackpot, bashed the autonudge button and in it nudged!
It just started working, maybe giving it a clean up, unplugging, plugging connectors and what have you helped it on its way.

Most likely. They do tend to get gummed up.

Hi, is it possible to fit a note acceptor to my Flashback? It's in the Elegance cabinet which does have space for a note acceptor, but if my memory serves me correctly, I never saw a Flashback with notechanger in the wild. I remember the first notechangers in machines I saw, just used to give change rather than take some dedicated credit. Probably in some Genesis 2 Barcrest such as Place your Bets or similar.
I'd imagine if it was possible, I'd need some antique notechanger from 1874 or similar, not one of these new fangled blue notechangers.

Anyway the reason I enquire is because of my nephews who pop around once a week. They used to play on the Playstation, watch a DVD etc, but now they've got addicted to my machine. They started off just losing the odd quid here or there which was nice extra income for myself and wife, especially as she wasn't willing to let the spare room out to a pretty Chinese student. Anyhow, they soon got addicted and were spending £5 or £10 to get the big flash for £20 which of course wasn't always forthcoming. So as soon as they'd left penniless, walking back home (15 miles away), I'd phone up some mates and we'd hammer the shit out of it until it was slipping onto Strawberries and go out and have a few bevvies leaving it stone for next time they came around.
Anyway, now they're turning up with the odd note that they want changing, which is a bit annoying when they interupt in the middle of Top Gear and when I've got my float and come back in the room, the Stig is in Austria, Clarkson is on a Bendibus and James May is in the back of a hearse. Anyhow I've enrolled them on a drug dealing crash course, so hopefully they'll be coming around with wedges of £20s and I'll need a changer. And a cheap Polish assistant to look sexy and make them some tea every now and then and clean the glass with what little Windowlene is left under the sink.
So my enquiry is, is it possible to fit a notechanger to my Flashback without enlisting the help of Professor Frink from the Simpsons?
And
Where can I get cheap, sexy Polish women?

Nah, ignore this, it's a pointless Christmas Project which is about 101 in the list of important things to do around Christmas, actually add a few 0000000s in the middle there. Maybe answer it if you can be bothered, if you can't be bothered, no need to post a reply. Bloop!

NV4 will do you if it's just in your house. Unless your family are LooTers.

Polish women can be obtained from Peterborough. Whether they are cheap or sexy is a matter for debate, the best looking ones always seem to be attached to the ugliest men you could possibly imagine, I mean car crash ugly. Must be a cultural thing.
